Goldman Sachs has broadened its coverage of regional stocks, bringing three senior analysts to the firm as executive directors. With immediate effect, Helen Zhu, Jim Hung and Kenneth Whee will join Goldman and be based in Hong Kong, Taipei and Seoul respectively.
Zhu arrives at the investment bankÆs Hong Kong offices as regional head of telecommunications research. She will take on the role from Jason Billings, who although still with Goldman, is planning to retire in the near term.

In GoldmanÆs Taipei offices, Hung will become head of Taiwan non-tech research.

He reports to Henry King, the investment bankÆs head of Taiwan research and comes on board after the departure of Shumin Huang, who covered the energy sector from Hong Kong.
Hung jumps ship from Credit Suisse in Taipei, where he covered petrochemicals stocks and other non-tech companies.
